2013-2014 ITI, PCC & QRPH Call for Proposals is now open through September 29, 2013

Interested parties are invited to submit a brief proposal for new IHE Profiles and/or White Papers to be considered for development in the 2013-2014 Publication Cycle.

The information below describes the entire annual planning cycle process from August – December 2014.

All Proposals must follow the structure and format of the Brief IHE Proposal Template, specifically addressing the following:

  • What is the problem you propose to solve by this proposal, and how is that problem expressed in practice (e.g., a use case)?
  • How would fixing this problem improve health care in practice?
  • What specific components of standards could be used to solve this problem?
  • Your proposal should identify one or more potential editor(s) in the event that the proposal is selected for further evaluation

and possible development. If possible, please include some indication of the business and/or clinical case surrounding the situation

when describing the problem. For example, is there an economic motivation for addressing this problem immediately?
